#### Step 2: Create and Calibrate the Probe File Inside PC-DMIS

- Create a new measurement routine and, when prompted, define a new probe (Insert | Hardware Definition | Probe). Name it MYPROBE.PRB and specify in the Probe Utility dialog box the components according to your specific needs.

- Import the Chorus qualification program. Use as your probe, the previously created MYPROBE.PRB file. PC-DMIS imports each SNSDEF statement and adds the corresponding TIP angles. Note that Chorus identifies each tip with the DMIS label that looks something like this: a tip with roll = 0 and pitch = 0 is named S(R000P000T1). PC-DMIS, names this as T1A0B0.

- If in ChorusNT you used a self-calibrated probe, import into PC-DMIS a simple DMIS routine containing the definition of the "Chief" probe, having the right label (the same used in the SNSLCT/S(label),90,90 for example) and Pitch and Roll equal to 0.

- After you import the DMIS file, your MYPROBE.PRB probe file will contain all the needed tips. In PC-DMIS these AB tip angles will show an asterisk symbol ‘*’ meaning they are not yet calibrated.

- Calibrate the tips in one of the following ways: 1) Execute the measurement routine. 2) Click the Measure button from the Probe Utilities dialog box.
